So…after storms in MLB weakened early in our shift, we moved our domain to Tallahassee.  We did issue a warning there, but it became apparent that the most interesting action today is in Montana, so we are on our third domain, Great Falls.  This area was the best in the country as far as supercell potential, and we now have a strong storm for which I issued a TOR.  Below is a selection of 3D-VAR products for this particular storm.  The current SRM is on the bottom left.  Top left is updraft helicity…that max is about 140 m/s^2.  Top right is composite updraft maximum, which pegs this storm up to 19 m/s of upward motion.  Finally, in the bottom right is maximum vorticity below 3 km.  This scan only showed 13.4/s of vorticity, but the scan before had values as high as 27/s.  Not a bad storm at all for this area of the country.  We did get a golfball hail report out of this storm, but no tornado yet…  CL
